VISIBILITY/WIPER, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ACTUATORS STOPPED FUNCTIONING PROPERLY TO CONTROL A/C AND HEAT IN VEHICLE WHEN TURNED ON. IF A/C IS TURNED ON, IT MAY RUN FOR AWHILE THEN TURN TO HEATING CYCLE ON ONE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE OR THE OTHER. THIS HAPPENS WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION OR NOT. IF HEAT IS CALLED FOR IN WINTER, I.E. TO DEFROST WINDOWS, THE HEAT MAY OR MAY NOT RUN OR IF RUNNING MAY TURN TO A/C. MANY TIMES IN WINTER THE HEAT TURNS TO A/C AND THERE IS NO HEAT ENTERING THE VEHICLE. NOTED THERE WERE NUMEROUS GMC VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ISSUE AS LATE AS 2015 WHEN LOOKING ON THE INTERNET.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
FIRST THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE SINCE 2008. MY SPEEDOMETER REGISTERED THE WRONG SPEED. MY SETTINGS FOR THE SEAT AND MIRRORS QUIT WORKING OVER TIME.HOT AIR WOULD COME OUT OF MY VENTS WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS ON RANDOMLY. RADIO, NAVIGATION, HEAT, AIR CONDITIONER AND MIRRORS WOULD TURN ON/OFF RANDOMLY WITHOUT TOUCHING CONTROLS. THE LAST 3 YEARS WENT THROUGH 3 BATTERIES IN 3 YEARS. TESTS SHOWED AT LEAST 5 THINGS ARE ACTIVELY DRAINING BATTERY IN THE FUSE BOX. ISSUES HAPPENED MOSTLY WHEN CAR WAS ON BUT MIRRORS WOULD RANDOMLY MOVE WHEN CAR WAS NOT ON, VERY CREEPY.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING DOWN ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, HIT THE BRAKES WHEN A COUPLE OF DEER JUMPED ONTO ROAD AND THE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR WITH NO BRAKING ACTION AT ALL. HAD ENOUGH TIME TO REALIZE WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND HIT THE PARKING BRAKE IN TIME BEFORE REACHING INTERSECTION TO BUSY HIGHWAY. INSPECTION AFTERWARD SHOWED BRAKE FLUID ON THE FRAME NEAR THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WHERE THE PROPORTIONING VALVE IS LOCATED. THERE WAS NO WARNING OF THE FAILURE AND HAD BEEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE AROUND TOWN MOST OF THE DAY. HAVE EXPERIENCED BRAKE FAILURES ON VEHICLES BEFORE AND ALWAYS HAD HALF THE SYSTEM REMAIN OPERATIONAL ENOUGH TO STOP WITHOUT PROBLEM. THIS APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN A SINGLE FAILURE MODE THAT CAUSED THE LOSS OF BRAKING OR A SIMULTANEOUS FAILURE OF MULTIPLE SYSTEMS WHICH SHOULD BE UNLIKELY BUT SEEMS TO HAPPEN WITH IMPROBABLE REGULARITY BASED ON COMPLAINTS POSTED.

ENGINE
ENGINE LOSING COOLANT, WITH NO APPARENT SIGNS OF LEAKAGE. COOLANT APPEARS TO BE LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE OIL, CAUSING IT TO SLUDGE, THEREBY CAUSING ENGINE FAILURE. GM IS AWARE OF AN ISSUE AND ISSUED TSB 06-06-01-019B FOR DEFECTIVE CYLINDER HEAD CASTING. I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED LAST YEAR AND NOW OWE 10000 FOR A CAR THAT NEEDS A 6000 ENGINE REPLACEMENT. GM SHOULD BE MADE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS SINCE THEY ARE WELL AWARE OF THE ISSUE, PER THEIR OWN DIRECTIVE.
